As many of you know, I recently buzzcut my hair, and have been purchasing accessories to help me avoid paying $22 a pop for some barely-legal immigrant to take a razor to my scalp, and then expect a $5 tip for five minutes of plastic scalp massaging.

The only hitch in my regimen so far has been trying to shave the back of my neck, and I figure I'm going to need a shaving mirror that I can attach to the wall behind me.

In searching for this, I came across what has to be classified as a solution in search of a problem: Shav-N-Specs

"Liberals got women the right to vote. Liberals got African-Americans the right to vote. Liberals created Social Security and lifted millions of elderly people out of poverty. Liberals ended segregation. Liberals passed the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act. Liberals created Medicare. Liberals passed the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act. What did Conservatives do? They opposed them on every one of those things...every one! So when you try to hurl that label at my feet, 'Liberal,' as if it were something to be ashamed of, something dirty, something to run away from, it won't work, Senator, because I will pick up that label and I will wear it as a badge of honor." -- Matt Santos, The West Wing
